Chapter 1247: Chapter 1246 Your relationship is so romantic!

Yang Xiaoxi thought for a moment and realized that Shen Mianmian might indeed be right. She touched her hair and said, "That makes sense, but I always feel like something is off."

Shen Mianmian blinked and suggested, "You feel something is off because you think Cheng Feiyang never made a formal confession to pursue you. Then, he uses this method to keep making you believe that you were the one at fault and he’s the victim. And Cheng Feiyang occasionally uses this to pinch you, leaving you without confidence in this matter, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly. "That’s exactly it, Mianmian. You really understand me so well. It’s just like that—he always says it was me taking advantage of him at first. Sometimes, he even says I had my eye on him from the start, deliberately taking the opportunity to get close while drinking." _{fre\e(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m}

Every time this topic comes up, Yang Xiaoxi regrets it deeply. She shouldn’t have run away back then but should have pretended to be asleep and let Cheng Feiyang wake up first. That way, she could have turned things around, like Cheng Feiyang could, by making a scene. Then, she wouldn’t be at such a disadvantage now.

Shen Mianmian laughed, "You are so carefree and outgoing. Cheng Feiyang doesn’t feel secure and can’t outtalk you. So, he can only pinch you like this. Apart from that, what else does he have to grasp onto you? It seems he really has no other way to deal with you."

Yang Xiaoxi is straightforward, and Cheng Feiyang probably finds it quite frustrating.

Xiaocui, having overheard, finally understood. "Xiaoxi, it’s you making him feel insecure."

Yang Xiaoxi calmed down a bit, "But that’s no reason to trick me like this! He hasn’t even confessed or pursued me officially."

Shen Mianmian laughed again, "Actually, he’s been chasing you all along; you just never noticed."

"Huh?" Yang Xiaoxi opened her mouth in surprise. "No way? He hasn’t even given me flowers."

Shen Mianmian reminded her, "Think about it, the day Brother He returned, why did he ask you out to dinner?"

"That day we just reached the entrance, heard the news about Brother He and came right back. We didn’t go in." Yang Xiaoxi had overlooked this, and if Shen Mianmian hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have remembered.

Shen Mianmian sighed, "This matter was also influenced by me and Brother He. That day, he must have been planning to confess to you, but it was interrupted by the news of Brother He’s return."

Yang Xiaoxi: "..." Could it really be like this?

Shen Mianmian continued calmly, "If Brother He hadn’t had an accident, I don’t think he would’ve waited five years to make a move. He was probably worried that seeing you happy together every day would bring back my feelings, so he waited until then to confess. But he didn’t anticipate that Brother He’s news would disrupt his plan, and he surely didn’t expect what happened later."

With that explanation from Shen Mianmian, Yang Xiaoxi finally seemed to understand, "So, you’re saying that I misunderstood him?"

"To be strict, yes, that’s the case." Shen Mianmian pondered, "Cheng Feiyang has been silently protecting you for five years. Importantly, you didn’t even realize, and he has no complaints. These kinds of men are hard to find."

"This makes your story seem so romantic!" Xiaocui exclaimed.

Yang Xiaoxi bloomed with joy, "Credit to his good taste. A girl as outstanding as me for sure needs more effort to be impressed. It’s not easy to win me over."

Shen Mianmian chuckled, "Actually, you’ve had him in your heart for a long time, haven’t you? You just haven’t realized it yet. Think about it carefully; over these five years, did you really not meet someone suitable or did you simply not want to get involved with those people? Every time you came back from filming, aside from wanting to see me, who else did you want to see?"
